[QUOTE="samuel337, post: 11554, member: 10347"] Hey Inker, here's some answers to your post (geez you think heaps ;-) ): The idea is that you will be able to search multiple sources [i]at the same time[/i]. For example, you may want to search Yahoo Launch Music Videos and MTV Music Videos at the same time. This is why you need to press the confirm button. If you're really lazy, you can just return to the previous screen - it will automatically save your selections. I'm still thinking about thumbnails...maybe when I make like a google image search plugin I'll implement the thumbnails feature. Not if you searched for something, the exited the plugin to do something else, then returned to the plugin. Maybe I should make the search screen appear automatically if there are no search results... The bottom half of the screen is dedicated to showing more information about the selected item - e.g. description and in the future, thumbnails and source name. Unfortunately, I couldn't find anything to go in the description field for the music videos, so I left it blank. Maybe Select Online source...but then that will be too long to fit the button... any other ideas? Because this plugin is not a dedicated Yahoo Music Video plugin - rather its designed to cater for many, many sources, I don't think this feature should be added - mind you, its a great idea, but it just doesn't fit my plan for this plugin. That's on its way - just got to figure out how to do this because OCS plugins (that is, the plugin that lets you search yahoo music videos) aren't displayed in MP configuration yet. Hmm... possible idea, I'll ponder it when I get the plugin well and truly done and when there's more support for this. It wouldn't be very hard to add this, but I want to work on other bits in this plugin first. I'm not sure about Yahoo's reaction, and whether I can actually download the files - i.e. they may be streaming only. I think I'll do this at the same time as the above response. Future is the keyword here - at the moment, I think the above ideas will keep me busy and this idea requires me to delve into the my music code which I really don't want to yet. Also, I need frodo's approval first because I'll need to edit MP source code. Thanks - keep the feedback coming! Sam [/QUOTE]
